Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5455.0,3 RJ-45 Cat5e 0.3m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K5455.0,3 is a 0.3 m grey networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and Cat5e performance. Built with SF/UTP shielding and gold-plated contacts, the cable supports reliable data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s and is designed for short patching, linking devices in dense installations, or connecting network equipment where a compact, robust connection is required.

Advantages

SF/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical noise. Gold-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and ensure stable physical and electrical connection over repeated insertions. The compact 0.3 m length minimizes cable clutter and is suitable for close-proximity connections such as between switches, patch panels, and wall outlets. The Cat5e standard provides adequate bandwidth for typical office and home network applications.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent ports on switches and patch panels
• Connecting routers, switches, and network interfaces in rack or desktop setups
• Short-distance links in crowded cabling environments where shielding is required
• Temporary or permanent connections where a short, reliable cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.3 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Performance class: Cat5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (braid + overall foil with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure physical connection. Use the cable to link network devices over short distances — for example, from a switch to a patch panel or between adjacent switch ports. Avoid sharp bends and excessive force on the cable or plug; maintain gentle cable radii and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources where possible to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable in properly grounded installations and pair it with matching shielded ports or equipment when available. When routing within racks or cable trays, allow sufficient space to prevent pinching and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference.
